OT: Off Topic 2019 part VIII - Spring is just around the corner

[McGarnagle]

What a story



Hallmark Chanel has a real issue on their hands since Lori Loughlin is in everything for them.

There should've been an episode where Aunt Becky spends $100,000 to get DJ into Stanford, followed by Danny Tanner giving them a speech about cheating and academic integrity over a soft piano track.

For those who love music, check out The Wrecking Crew on Netflix. I was bored and came across it, it`s about a bunch of session musicians back in the 60`s and 70`s. I`ve had never heard of any of them and that`s what this documentary speaks to, how this group of musicians lived and played in virtual anonymity

Your timing is impeccable, Hal Blaine actually just passed away yesterday. He was the drummer on dozens of 1960s hit songs.

Remember when DKM did a FREE concert after a Bruins game?

I don't think Tessie ruined them, getting wealthy did

I do remember that. I was there.

Tessie ruined them, that and Shipping Up to Boston made them go mainstream which is what made them wealthy. Their sound changed and they have a more poppy sound than they have had in the past. At a live show, when Al gets really into a song like Barroom Hero you get a glimpse at the old Murphys but they went totally Hollywood.

Good for them, it's nice to see local guys be successful, but I miss their old sound.

It was a madhouse and Brian Rolston scored in overtime. (against Vancouver)

I was at the game. I think a 2-1 victory over Vancouver? Tied it with almost no time left and won it in OT. I think a couple players (Rolston stands out in my mind) even joined the band on guitar.

The promise of success ruined them. They knew what would get them all disgustingly rich and they changed. I would’ve done the same.

EDIT: i was close. 2-1 in OT but the goal to tie it was 2nd period.

I blame Ken Casey. Clown.

Also owns like all of Dot Ave in Lower Mills.

I am indirectly responsible for Tessie.

I found a copy of the original recording of Tessie and gave it to Steve Buckley who then passed it on to Jeff Horrigan who then gave it to Ken.



In any event when McGreeveys opened Ken gave me a card for a discount which turned out to be 100% and it is still good today. He actually said to me I don't use it enough.

Right in the middle of the concert, Ken Casey says.....Nick Boynton's gonna play. His guitar is a piece of shit.

Where on earth did you dig up that fossil?

 

[Kovi]

in the middle of this game, Cloutier took Marty LaPointe's stick and just chucked it to the side. Marty just stood there. no penalty was called.

 

[Fenway]

I found it online in the Canadian Archives in Ottawa

Can you imagine a thousand drunks singing this over and over at Fenway? That is what the Royal Rooters did

I've seen a thousand drunks singing it at every other sporting event since it came out, and they are less well behaved than the Royal Rooters.

So yes...I can imagine. And I hope they feel bad for me.

Just gonna throw this out there while I head home.

Whats there for me and the Bride to do in San Diego in May?
The zoo is on her bucket list so that's a given.

Other touristy things? Restaurants?

Probably be there 4 or 5 days.

 

[Fenway]

I guess this if anything exposed me to a term I wasn't aware of before called lawnmower parenting. It's where parents mow down any perceived obstacles in their child's path

I guess this takes helicopter parenting to a higher and even more obnoxious level

From the link:

In a companion roundup of other outrageous parent requests of teachers so as to clear the decks of any rough spots, we learn that a fourth grader’s mom asked the school to blow on the daughter’s soup because it was too hot. Another parent asked to be texted her 9th grade son’s daily homework assignment because he had difficulty remembering it and she wanted to oversee it. Another mother sent along several tea bags so the teacher could prepare hot tea to soothe her son’s sore throat, and instructed her to feel free, of course, to toss in any honey of her own she might have on hand.

Cheers took a comical look on this subject

Tessie is burned into my brain because of MVP Baseball 2005 (still perhaps the greatest sports videoo game of all time), which I played pretty much non-stop my senior year of high school.
